Talking A very "dry" reception at CLE UC today...

I do love a good meat and cheese tray. Even better when served with condiments... A spicy cornichon. Some salty capers. Maybe a hearty stone ground mustard.

You know, the kind with whole mustard seeds in it, and a spicy flavor?

Someone at the CLE UC didn't read the memo very closely... or missed the significance of the "stone" part. Because sitting on the buffet next to the meats was a giant bowl of Ground Mustard. Like, the spice. Like, the really dry, powdery, flour-like spice.

... to dip my meat in? *laugh* Seriously, we're dying here! Thought FT would enjoy...

You should have asked for a little white wine, and some sugar and you'd be in business... DYI Dijon

If it weren't for the sign I would have guessed someone forgot to add water to the eggs.

I see no evidence that the OP tasted it, so your theory about the dried eggs could indeed be correct.

Perhaps it's dried mustard gas?

Cleveland based here (and unabashed Cleveland homer), but the Cleveland UC is becoming a joke. The staff is great, but their inconsistency with the food offerings, times, how often they replenish, etc. is becoming quite bad.
